normally before the beginning of Lent.<\/p>\r\n<p>In year C, however, the first reading for Harvest Thanksgiving is the same as the first reading for the First Sunday in Lent, so in year C you may consider making an exception and celebrating Harvest Thanksgiving on the First Sunday in Lent.<\/p>\r\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" title=\"pj0al9zq0th841nzh19yhh65nnbwgw5j.jpg\"
